Idk how that's possible 3, unless your homeless or can't afford cable they've always shown the carnival of sins show in Michigan on vh1 or palladia channel the past 4 years.
if you watch the carnival of sins tour which I believe was in 2006 you may think otherwise, because it was pretty impressive.
If you can get over a chubby vince neil in tight jeans factor.

Wow, that's so strange. I'm pretty into Crue. Just the basic stuff though. I used to listen to Girls, Girls, Girls, and Kickstart My Heart everyday. So I'm a little sad about this. But I'm glad I saw them play those songs, at the last Ozzfest I went too. So I'm happy I have that part of my life. Not many people will be able to say that soon.......Not maybe people would want to probably lol......sorry I'm presenting the other side of that opinion.
Thanks for all the music guys. Maybe if I have money, I'll even go to the Long Island show. I'm sure it'll be a good show.

I wouldn't be surprised if they are retiring due to Micks health. For someone to be still rocking out at 62 AND suffering through ankylosing spondylitis is downright amazing. I hope it's not starting to spread into his hands. Either way, major props for playing as long as he has. And props to MC for doing the honorable thing and ending the band properly.

Crue was one of my gateway bands back in the day.
The debut was/is awesome.
Shout was their pinnacle.
Every album had great tracks all the way through Feelgood.
After the initial breakup the magic was gone even after getting back with Vince.
Shout was never equaled.

So Motley Crüe announced a farewell tour which should have happened a decade ago. Mötley Crüe's performance on Jimmy Kimmel yesterday is embarrassing to even watch. Pig Neil hasn't been able to hold a note for over 10 years. He spends half of each song holding the mic out to the crowd to sing when he gets winded. On Jimmy Kimmel he isn't even singing discernible lyrics or is making it up. Hang it up before the tour.

haven't paid much attention to the crue since the record that came after shout at the devil...can't remember if it was dr feelgood or the Girls one, but either way it fvcking sucked
HOWEVER, too fast for love and shout at the devil are fvcking BAD a$$ records, and I don't give a fvck what any ignorant fvcking fvcks have to say otherwise ;)
Much respect for Mick Mars, dude pioneered a wicked fvckin METAL guitar tone back in the day \m/

A sad day for some metal fans and the cure for a seemingly terminal illness for others. They left their mark... whether one sees it as a disfiguring scar or not is up to the beholder.
Motley Crue were an essential gateway metal band and simultaneously everything that metal should strive not to be identified with.
A7X owe Motley Crue for every penny.
